Facebook probably can’t wait for 2018 to end, a year that brought a garden variety of user privacy infringing issues for the world’s largest social network, as well as more questions about the measures Facebook is willing to take to curb the spread of fake news and limit foreign influence on the network.

Many of us like to start off a new year by doing something special. Oftentimes it’s setting a lofty goal we’d like to achieve over the following 12 months, but China’s space agency won’t need to wait nearly that long to place a large feather in its 2019 cap. The Chang’e 4 spacecraft is slated to arrive on the far side of the Moon within the first few days of the new year, and it’ll be a major “first” for the country.

As the South China Morning Post reports, Chinese scientists are anticipating the landing of the Chang’e 4 sometime between January 1st and 3rd, and the mission has been a long time in the making.

If you’ve ever played emulated video games on your computer, there’s a decent chance you’ve heard of RetroArch. One of the best and most popular emulator frontends ever made, RetroArch uses “cores” to emulate games from a wide variety of classic consoles, including the NES, SNES, Genesis, N64 and PS1.

In addition to releasing the frontend on PC, developer Libretro has also made RetroArch available on macOS, Linux, Android, 3DS, and even the Switch. But last Friday, the team made an announcement that is even more exciting than it first appears: RetroArch is coming to Xbox One in “early 2019.” That alone should pique your interest, but the best part of the announcement is that RetroArch on Xbox One won’t require a jailbreak.

We’re now less than four months away from the Avengers: Endgame premiere, which will finally bring us the closure we’ve been waiting for. Endgame will restore order to the universe, and many of the characters who perished after Thanos snapped his fingers during that epic Infinity War finale will be brought back to life.

The ending of the upcoming movie won’t be 100% happy, though. This is, after all, a Russo brothers Avengers flick. But most of the beloved characters who turned to dust will be resurrected — even characters who died early in Infinity War might be back brought to life (if they really died in the first place). While we wait, however, we’ll show you a huge change Marvel made to an Avengers villain who saw a hero’s death in Infinity War.

The Anker 10W Fast Wireless Charging Stand is the perfect wireless charger for any recent iPhone model or any Galaxy flagship phone from the past few years. Why, you might ask? Because iPhone models like the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone X all use Face ID to unlock rather than fingerprint sensors. Similarly, all of Samsung’s recent Galaxy flagship phones like the Galaxy S9/S8 and Galaxy Note 9/8 can use face scanning to unlock as well. By using a wireless charging stand like this one instead of a pad, you can unlock your smartphone on your desk without even having to touch it because it will be pointed at your face! It normally sells for $26, but you can pick one up today for $19.99 of you hurry.
